Well here is a little bit about yours truly. I am a 28 year old pansa verde (Leon, Guanajuato Mexico). I was first brought over to the U.S. when I was 3 years old. I returned to Mexico at the age of 5 and ended up back in the U.S. at the age of 8. So, I have been in the US most of my life and consider it my home; viva Los Angeles!!!

Now here is a bit of my scholastic history. Truth be told, I was a shitty high school student. As a matter of fact, I graduated from home studies; well, I had to leave regular high school because some stalker girl got gangsters after me, but that is a different story lol. My poor scholastic habits followed me to the community college. I was on academic probation for a while at Glendale Community College. However, after a few social science classes I began to see the world in a different way. Life had lost its static nature and had become dynamic and organic. From that point on, I started getting nothing but sweet and sexy A’s. I ended up transferring to CSULA, which is all that I could afford. There, I excelled in all of my classes. I ended up majoring in Economics and Statistics (graduated Cum Laude). Then I realized that I wanted a PhD in economics, so I had to take as much math as possible. Hence, I ended up taking all of the math B.A. core classes. Now I am getting a dual MA in mathematics and economics. I have worked so hard that I now exceed the prerequisites needed to apply to the top ten PhD (economics) programs in the world. It has been a long road, but it has been fun and exciting.

Now here is a bit about this pansa verde’s personal life. I am a nerd to the core. I love computers, synthesizers, school, playing piano and guitar, and everything that has to do with futuristic things. I also enjoy hardcore workouts; the type of workouts that make you feel like you are Rocky Balboa running up huge steps. Music wise, I love electronic music, Ricardo Arjona type stuff, Jazz, Classical, and anything that sounds good. Unfortunately, I never developed a taste for hip hop or R&B. Let’s see what else. I am ridiculously obsessed with optimism and I really enjoy smiling. I think that about covers it

He he, sure. Some how I managed to get one of the most attractive girls in high school to be my girlfriend. The only problem is that this girl was really conceited and obnoxious. So I ended up leaving her. I still remember her telling me, "How are you going to leave me, have you looked at the mirror lately." Anyways, I guess she couldn't take someone with my average looks to leave her. She really ended up hating me. She had tons of guys that wanted to go out with her, including gangsters. Hence, she got one of her little gangster minions to chase after me. He tried beating me up after school. I tried to defend myself and ended up beating him up, which I did not want to. I guess he got my phone number from her and called my house to tell me that he would shoot me if he saw me at school. I ended up going to Mexico for a month till things cooled down. This was before 911 so I was able to return just with a California ID. Anyway, that is the story. lol
